Salamo 124

1 Fihirana fiakarana. Nataon’ i Davida.

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. If YHWH had not been for us (Pray, let Israel say),

2 Raha tsy Jehovah no nomba antsika, Raha nitsangana hamely antsika ny olona.

If YHWH had not been for us, In the rising up of man against us,

3 Dia nitelina antsika velona izy, Raha nirehitra tamintsika ny fahatezerany;

Then they had swallowed us alive, In the burning of their anger against us,

4 Dia nandifotra antsika ny rano, Ary nanafotra ny fanahintsika ny riaka;

Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over our soul,

5 Eny, nanafotra ny fanahintsika Ny rano misafoaka.

Then proud waters had passed over our soul.

6 Isaorana anie Jehovah, Izay tsy nanolotra antsika ho rembin’ ny nifiny.

Blessed [is] YHWH who has not given us, [As] prey to their teeth.

7 Ny fanahintsika dia efa afaka tahaka ny vorona afaka tamin’ ny fandriky ny mpihaza: Tapaka ny fandrika, ka afaka isika.

Our soul has escaped as a bird from a snare of fowlers, The snare was broken, and we have escaped.

8 Ny famonjena antsika dia amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah, Mpanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.

Our help [is] in the Name of YHWH, Maker of the heavens and earth!
